Yes, but in the macro games there is even a better chance of winning for zerg than for example on LT Close. That the other races can makro up like crazy only shows that 99% of the poeple was wrong about the thing, that no one can stop zerg in a pure makro match. I like to hear that because it tells a lot of poeple that they are bad at makro which they never believed. | ||

Then wins solid matches in PvT. He went from chump to possible title contender. That just doesn't happen. I was just joking about how low were the expectations towards sanzenith, but at heart I concur. San's poor performance was mainly psychologic than anything else, most probably In truth i'm extremely happy for the guy, after all the jokes, the pokes and the shit he went through he was able to come out on top, pitted against of one of the best. In front of everyone. | ||

Hard to say what happened in the Nestea vs San game, can't exactly say Nestea played bad, San just seemed to do everything right. His early push really weakened nestea, then he held off nesteas response and it got to late game where he seemed to just make every right decision. His DT's were used perfectly sniping hatches and stray units, his use of HT's was also good hitting drones and stuff then making mass archons and using them very effectively. His mothership play was really good, he defended all his expos with turrets to stop the muta harrass, good blink play then he then made the perfect counter to ultras with immortals. I'm not too sure what nestea could've done. | ||

Well, MKP (aka Foxer) played terribly in the Ro64 of GSL2, and now he is one of the scariest Terrans in GSL. Nestea couldn't even spread creep in GSL1, yet he went on to win GSL2 going undefeated until the finals. MC had huge problems with nerves in GSL1 and GSL2, yet once he overcame those nerves, he completely rolled through GSL3. Jinro didn't even qualify for GSL1 and GSL2, yet he now consistently gets to the semifinals of GSL3 and GSL4. I'm glad to see SanZenith overcome his issues and start playing some extremely solid games. The more good players, the better GSL becomes, even if it is at the detriment of the old champions. The average Code S player is getting better and better, and it's really showing in the increasingly amazing games that are being played. | ||

I tested it at least a dozen times with an approximation of the unit counts and the appropriate upgrades. Zerg came out on top easily every time. The majority of the Ultras and Corrupters survived with health differing from deep red to green. A few times some Immortals would survive, but the Ultras cleaned them up easy. Even with only 3 Banelings inside, Zerg won easily each time out of 6 or so tests. There were many more survivors, including some Archons, but Zerg still won with around 4-6 Ultras and a couple of Corrupters. Tastosis was really pushing for San to send his Archons in, but if Nestea put his Banelings in also, I don't think it would have worked out so well. I think his decision to wait outside was a great one! *Just for fun! There are so many ways that could have gone down.  | ||

But since this seems to be the upset season, I am no going to think TheWind will be our champion this season. Just loved his answer in the interview where he was saying he felt sorry for winning because he didn't practice a lot. | ||

anyone? As a zerg player im sad to see nestea lose, but as a casual protoss player I was happy to see so many archons and a mothership being put to good use in a gsl game. | ||
